914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Hunziker 50 Year Poster

Posted by: jim_hoyland Feb 21 2020, 06:19 AM

Got my 50 year poster today from Claus Moeller a member of the German Porsche 914-6-club.
Claus was in contact with Nicolas Hunziker, the swiss artist in California.He persuade him to create a artwork to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the 914. This year Claus' dream came true and his club could buy his original artwork, painted acryl on canvas.

The poster is 33". x 46 1/2"and a real beauty. Now the hard part, finding a place to display it

I got both of the 40 and 50 year posters.
They are off getting foam core applied to the back so I can hang them in the garage.
They look awesome in person.
Very, very colorful.
And just cool.

I just bought a large sheet of foam board to mount the poster; hadn’t noticed it before, but the poster is a limited edition print at 500

You can get cheap frames at Walmart and similar places for ~$25.

I was thinking the same thing; I'm going to have a high-res pic shot and then print at regular poster size. This poster is a little big for me.

Use an oversized frame with custom cut mat and save $

Any good frame shop that is willing to sell you the frame+ backing+ glass (most are not) should be under $100. Online I priced at $275 to $375 p/u in store (like Michael's arts + crafts). I bought all sorts of large sizes for $55 to $65 including glass (did my own dry mount) from:
Quick Frames. in L.A. quickframes@outlook.com
Frames ship easy, then just buy your glass and foam-back local.

I like this poster as my 914-6 #41 was built in 1969 You guys are fancy. I just used push pins at the outer edge so in case I want to frame in the future. I just wanted it up so it would not get lost

I don't have the dimensions in front of me right now but my recollection is that they are a bit oversize and any readily available frame will not fit the dimensions.
Unless.... you are willing to accept plastic instead of glass.
I've got both posters and want to frame ....? anyone ?

Posted by: orthobiz May 19 2020, 05:23 PM

I had both of mine professionally framed for around 800 bucks. Not cheap but they are way cool.

Posted by: billh1963 May 19 2020, 06:46 PM

The size is A0.....around 33 x46 inches

I've found a few frames that size for around $100 but didn't like the look

I used American Frame (.com). You can choose all kinds of different frame profiles. The one I chose is a Nielsen profile. I use the same one for most of my garage posters. I took the poster to Michaels for dry mounting to foam core ($70). I’m sure Hobby Lobby would’ve been cheaper but they weren’t open because of Covid-19. The poster after mounting on foam core was 33 and 1/8 x 46 and 13/16. The frame was ~ $110 shipped. Still waiting for the frame to get here. Once it does I’ll grab glass from the hardware store.

I agree with the other, this poster is big. Mine is #237 out of 500.

Are these still available?

Posted by: Rob-O May 20 2020, 08:41 PM

Contact Claus. When I bought mine he said that he had a limited supply sent to the US so he wasn’t sending them one or two at a time from Europe. I think his friend is holding them in FL if I remember correctly. It was packaged superbly.

Another shout out to Claus- can't remember what number mine is but it will sure look good on the garage wall!!

Posted by: Rob-O Jun 25 2020, 09:28 PM

Finally got mine framed. Don’t mind the water pumper in the foreground. The electrical socket next to the poster should give you some reference as to how big this poster is...
